The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of chip-level system design, signal processing, power-performance tradeoffs, and modeling at various levels of abstraction. This role will require collaboration with multidisciplinary teams including analog and digital circuit designers, verification engineers, system engineers, and validation engineers.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine and document the system-level architecture for complex ICs that integrate sensor, analog, and digital components.\nLead system-level simulations and feasibility studies to evaluate design tradeoffs and performance targets.\nDevelop and maintain behavioral and functional models at various abstraction levels for both analog and digital domains.\nParticipate in IC validation, debug, and performance correlation to ensure models accurately represent silicon behavior.\nCreatively innovate and solve new customer requirements, develop next generation IP, and file patents.\nGenerate detailed documentation, including architectural and concept reviews, design gate reviews, internal design documents, and test requirements.\nProvide technical leadership and mentor junior engineers on system-level modeling and design best practices.\nWho we are looking for\nEducation\nMS in Electrical Engineering with 15 years of experience or PhD in Electrical Engineering with 12 years of experience, with an emphasis in mixed signal integrated circuit design or a similar specialty.\nExperience\nExperience with technical leadership in mixed signal IC Design, block level specifications, simulation, modelling, optimizing layout for performance, etc.\n“Expert level” transistor level design knowledge and experience of standard analog building blocks including bandgap references, current references, OPAMPs, LDOs, charge pumps, and switched-capacitor circuits. Knowledge of ADC topologies and design is a plus.\nExperience in RTL-level digital design including combinational and sequential digital designs, clock domains, and digital/analog interfaces.\nExcellent communication skills (both oral and written) are required, as customer level technical interface and design team leadership are necessary under pressure situations.\nExperience with relevant CAD tools (including Cadence Virtuoso, SPICE, Xcelium, etc.)\nProficiency with modeling tools, for example, Verilog-AMS, MATLAB, and/or SystemVerilog.\nPPD and SPAD optical sensor design and modeling experience is a plus.\nPlease contact Joanely Ivette Mortimer for further information via ","description_format":"text","description_chars":2805,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sensors & Transducers","LED Lighting & Luminaires","Optics & Photonic Components"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T20:19:46Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 8 · green card filings: 1","filings_12m":8,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":1,"median_offered_wage_usd":148611,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-12T07:36:15+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":7}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":16,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T23:09:57Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ams-osram-principal-ic-system-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ams-osram-principal-ic-system-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T23:09:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":46135,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":54725},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=54725"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fams-osram-principal-ic-system-architect"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fams-osram-principal-ic-system-architect"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fams-osram-principal-ic-system-architect"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ams-osram-principal-ic-system-architect\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fams-osram-principal-ic-system-architect"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4280057}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ams-osram.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4280057},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
